Beautiful apartment in a great area! Matthieu was very responsive and helpful, and the apartment was very clean and well stocked. 4 of us stayed comfortably, and we loved our stay. Would definitely recommend and stay here again in the future!

About the Host, Matthieu

My name is Matthieu, I'm a French born guy from Paris but I have been living in London for a couple of years, which is the perfect city if you are a curious person with eclectic tastes ! I am fond of art and architecture and I am passionate about food (so don't hesitate to ask me by favourite addresses ;) ). I am myself a huge traveler and have been to many european countries, Indonesia, and South America. During my trips, I always felt more comfortable in welcoming and warm accomodations than in classic hotels which often "lack" life ! That's what I keep in mind when entrusting you my flat, and I hope to make it the perfect haven for your stay in London.
I can speak English, French and fluent Spanish (and understand a little bit of Italian) so if you need any informations about the flat or tips about the city feel free to ask in any of these languages !
